Hi Parents,
As I'm sure your student has told you, today we learned all about Australia! Most importantly, we learned all about animals in Australia! Your student spent the language arts period becoming an expert on one (or two) of about twenty different Australian animals.
After researching the animal, students created a class Wiki (similar to Wikipedia) where they wrote two paragraphs about their specific animal.
The Wiki can be viewed at the following site:
https://australiananimals-grade3.wikispaces.com/
After writing and editing, the students drew a picture of their animal. The drawings were displayed as each student gave a very brief presentation about their animal. Photographs of these drawings will be posted to the blog soon!
For homework tonight the students are to read the Wiki posts of their fellow classmates. After reading the posts, they must determine which animal is their favorite and why. Students are expected to then post a blog entry (on their personal blog) explaining what their favorite Australian animal is and the reasons why it is their favorite. Those explanations must include at least three facts about the specified animal!
That is all for tonight!
Miss S.
